Event-Triggered. Battery-Efficient. Built for Vision AI Prototyping.
The CamThink NeoEyes NE101 is a developer-focused, battery-operated camera designed for ultra-low power image capture based on trigger events. With a fully modular structure, swappable components, and open-source firmware, NE101 enables fast and flexible deployment in outdoor and energy-constrained scenarios.
Ideal for wildlife monitoring, smart agriculture, and embedded vision use cases.
Key Features
Ultra-Low Power Consumption Supports up to 3+ years on AA batteries (10 photos/day). Also supports Type-C 5V power via onboard port (not externally exposed).
Event-Triggered Capture Supports PIR, radar, or sound triggers to wake and capture only when needed.
Modular Design Swap or upgrade camera, communication and power modules, and housing components with ease.
Open Hardware & Firmware Includes open-source firmware and fully documented GPIO / interface specs for custom development.
Flexible Communication Default Wi-Fi. Optional Cat-1 (LTE) and Wi-Fi HaLow modules available — see options
IP67 Protection Built to withstand outdoor deployment in tough environments.
